Welcome to Solei, a teahouse for a great conversation with strangers

Your City’s Living Room.

Your City’s Living Room.

Solei is not an ordinary teahouse, it is a unique place to hear stories from strangers at the heart of New York City.

Our story.

Solei is a third place where you can stop by after a long day to see familiar faces and meet new friends. It’s an evening hangout lounge that is not driven by alcohol but feels just like a friend’s living room.

We are a slow space where we bring together people who seek to connect beyond small talk, to have an honest dialogue and discuss amazing ideas.
